Lace up your bowling shoes for READY’s annual fundraiser, Bowling 4 STARS!
This spring, we have a goal of raising $50,000 to support two key initiatives: the READY STARS Scholarship Fund, which provides financial support to graduating high school seniors who plan to become teachers, and the READY Teaching Academy (RTA), a year-round, hands-on program that prepares high school students for careers in education through mentorship, training, and real-world experience. These programs are helping students discover their potential, gain real-world experience, and step confidently into roles that shape the future of our schools.
We invite you to become a sponsor and bring your own team or sponsor a student bowling team for this exciting event!
